What was our topic last time? Students’ expected answer:
Our topic last meeting is all about
the different hand tools used in
inspecting and troubleshooting a
computer hardware.

Very good, what are these hand tools? Students’ expected answers:

Let us first have you divided into two ( the students group themselves into

All number 1 will be the group A, group ( The students form their group

the other side.
Okay class! Before we begin let me just
refresh to you the mechanics.

Yes Sir! (Team A responds)

*Each group have a minute to construct a
name from the five sets of pictures to be
flashed on the screen.

*You are free to pass a set of pictures if you

feel so.
*Your score will be based on the number of
sets that you name correctly and if ever
both teams happen to name all the five
sets of pictures on or before the time
expires, the winner will be determined on
the time that they managed to name all the
set of pictures.

All the members of a group are allowed to

voice out their thoughts or answers during
your time on the game.

What is a Solid-State Storage device?

The Solid-State Device is a non-volatile

computer storage that stores and retrieves
digital information using only electronic
circuits without any involvement of
mechanical parts.
It is a type of computer storage

Alright class, can you see the hardware Yes sir!
components of a computer?

But can you feel and touch them? Yes Sir!

Therefore, how would you describe a Computer Hardware Components

And what’s the purpose of having the data To create a storable output visible

Good Job!
So, what then is the function of the
memory regarding with the dataor
information? Its acts as the data’s what? It acts as the data’s storage sir!

And how are those data or information

Now what you’re going to do is make a
Venn Diagram and write what you think or
observed similarities and differences of the
one key hardware component that
assigned to you with human organs or body
parts or characteristics.

You will do it here in a manila paper that I

will be providing you. And after 5 minutes (The students start working on their
the representatives from each group will activity)
explain your work.

(5mins later)
Alright class, that’s enough, post your (Each representative discusses their

works one after another.

Okay! Now we found out that there are

many similarities between computer’s and
human’s physical parts regarding on how
both works. In terms of receiving, storing,
processing and executing data or
information to form an output. That’s why
class as we cans see in our modern world.
Technology has been quite domineering in
all aspects of life. Scientists, computer
developers and inventors has been
persistent in building machines and robots
that are more human-like and can do more
 human jobs.

So, now we get the idea that we have now

these kinds of robot and machines that
mimic or copy the way we work because of
they have some the same functionalities
from us.
3 F.Generalizatio So, from our discussion, anyone who can
minute n summarize our topic?
s Anyone? (A student will summarize the topic)

Very well said! I hope that all of you

learned and understand the lesson well.
